People are organizing nationwide to preserve the season’s bounty in a “Can-a-rama” on August 29 and 30. Canning classes and community canning events are scheduled all around the country for the two-day event. Sound Food would like to bring this “canvolution” to Bainbridge Island. If you’re interested in organizing, hosting an event, teaching a class, or even just participating in an August canning event, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The “Can-a-rama” idea was lauched by a group called “Canning Across America.” Their mission is to “promote safe food preservation and the joys of community building through food. We believe in celebrating the bounty of local and seasonal produce and taking greater control of our food supply. Together, we can.” Check out their website for more information about the August event, and for a great collection of recipes, a booklist, and links to information about canning and food processing. You can also follow @Canvolution on Twitter to learn more about canning and the event.
